PERIOPERATIVE BLOOD MANAGEMENT SERVICES

Perioperative Blood Management (PBM) is a patient-centered, multi-disciplinary, evidence-based approach to utilizing blood transfusions of the right type, at the right time and the right amount. PBM is founded on the idea that the patient has an adequate volume of blood and can act as their own blood bank.

Increase safety by limiting allogeneic transfusion risk
Patients benefit from the safety of receiving their own blood as opposed to incurring the risks associated with receiving donor blood. By implementing a PBM program and strategically minimizing allogeneic blood transfusion (blood received from another person), you can help to promote patient safety in the following ways:

Reduce infection risk

Decrease length of stay

Eliminate transfusion reactions

Reduce administrative errors

Decrease cost
The cost of blood is significant and increasing. Beyond the acquisition cost of allogeneic blood, there are processing costs associated with each unit that can bring the total cost per unit to over $500.

Our clients benefit from significant cost reductions in the purchase of blood, preparing and delivering the blood and post-transfusion complications. A PBM program conserves the blood supply while providing typical savings between 5-15% of the current total spend on blood.
